Carved by Peter Wolf Toth, it was the 56th Native American head in his Trail of the Whispering Giants series. The {{convert|25|ft|m|adj=on}} tall, {{convert|250000|lbs|adj=on}} statue was the first of two carved by Toth in Oregon. Completed in 1987, the statue was named in honor of a chief of the local Tualatin Indians. In early 2017, the statue was damaged by a tree blown over in a windstorm. It was ultimately determined to be beyond repair and was removed in June 2017. HistoryToth selected Shute Park in Hillsboro for his first sculpture of a Native American head in Oregon in July 1987.[1] Toth wanted a location in the Portland metropolitan area to allow easy access for a large population to see the statue that would include features drawn from Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce in northeastern Oregon.[2] Part of his Trail of the Whispering Giants series, he carved a statue in each U.S. state with Oregon as the second to last state.[1][3][4] Sculpting began that month on a log of Douglas fir, Oregon's state tree.[5] The {{convert|250000|lbs|adj=on}} log was donated by Stimson Lumber Company and delivered free of charge by local companies.[6] On August 13, the partly carved log was lifted onto its base at the park along Tualatin Valley Highway by J. L. Craigg Construction.[5][6] Toth carved it by hand, except for the use of an electric sander.[2] The statue was later treated with wood preservatives and fiberglass was applied to the top to protect against the elements.[11] On September 25, 1987, the sculpture was dedicated as Chief Kno-Tah in a ceremony featuring Native American singing and dancing.[7] About 400 attended the ceremony on a day proclaimed as United American Indian Day by Hillsboro mayor Shirley Huffman.[8] City and county civic leaders as well as local Native American leaders spoke at the ceremony.[8] Kno-Tah was the leader of the Tualatin band of the Kalapuya group of Native Americans when that band signed a treaty with the government to cede their ancestral home on the Tualatin Plains to pioneer settlers.[9] Students at the Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon, selected the name from submissions from local residents.[9] The {{convert|25|ft|adj=on}} tall statue was Toth's 56th in his series of Native American heads.[7] Toth donated the statue to the state as he did with each in the series.[7][10] A plaque on the base was later added.[9][11] After completing the statue, he carved a second Oregon one in Astoria later that year to honor coastal tribes.[12] Until 1996, a picture of the sculpture was used by the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce for their postcards.[13] The image was replaced with a collage featuring the Old Scotch Church, a vineyard, and a high-tech clean room.[13] In February 2017, the top of the carving was damaged when a wind storm blew an adjacent tree into the front side, shearing off part of the head and causing the entire statue to lean.[14] On June 15, 2017, after officials determined that the leaning statue was a safety concern, it was removed.[15] DetailsChief Kno-Tah was made of Douglas fir and was {{convert|25|ft}} tall, and {{convert|6|ft}} in diameter (19 cubic metres, 9.9 tonnes).[11] The concrete base was {{convert|2|ft}} tall and {{convert|8|ft}} in diameter.[11] It was part of a series titled Trail of the Whispering Giants. The figure featured braided hair with feathers protruding from the back.[11] The hand-carved statue was located in Shute Park, along Tualatin Valley Highway in the south-central area of Hillsboro.[11] Sculptor Peter Wolf Toth is a Hungarian born refugee whose family settled in Ohio when he was 11.[2] In 1971, he started sculpting while in California, and a few years later began his series to carve a head of a Native American in each U.S. state.[2] He completed that in 1988, and then moved on to Canada.[4] The city's parks and recreation department owned the statue.[11]See also
